***You know the disclaimer – I don't own digimon, never will.

Recap: TK proposed to Kari, and she accepted. They told the old gang at a celebration of the anniversary of the defeat of Myotismon.

Just so you know, means dream.

~~~ Two Weeks Later ~~~

Kari stood in the dressing room, looking at herself. She smiled, then stepped out for everyone to see.

"Ohh…" they all said. "Kari, that is the one! It's perfect!" Mimi said, touching the fabric.

"I agree." Sora said, and Yolei nodded. They had all come with her to help pick out a wedding dress. They were also going to shop for bridesmaid dresses for the 3 of them. She and TK had set a date for the wedding a week ago. It was going to be on December 22. That was the day that they had confessed their love to each other, when they were both 15.

"I agree also." Kari said, looking at herself in the mirror again. The dress was pure white, so white that snow would look gray against it. The bodice was all beads, and was the thin straps that held it up. (A/N: I know what you're think – sleeveless in December? But I saw this dress once and I loved it, and I am going to use it.) The bottom of the dress poofed out, but not too much. There were lines of beads going down the dress also. There was also a small train in the back, but not enough to be a nuisance.

"Now all we have to do is pick a veil! And I know the perfect one that will go with that!" Mimi said, looking around. Mimi, as the fashion model, knew what to look for. Sora was also a big help, and had actually found this dress. She knew that she could count on them for the perfect advice for her dress. Now, if only they could agree on bridesmaid dresses…

TK, Matt, Tai, Izzy, Joe, Davis, Cody, and Ken all looked into the mirror in TK's house. They were trying on the tuxes that Sora and Mimi had picked out for them to wear at the wedding. TK's was a white tux, with black pants and a black vest. His white bow tie set the outfit at perfect. The rest had on the traditional black tux.

"Well…what do you think?" TK asked. No one answered.

"They're…OK. I just had wearing tuxes." Izzy replied, fiddling with his bow tie. Most of the others nodded heads.

"I'm used to it, with my singing career and Mimi's career." Matt said. Tai nodded. "Sora is always dragging me to these fancy places where tuxes are needed. These are great. Mimi and Sora know what they're doing."

TK nodded, and looked into the mirror again. He couldn't believe that the wedding was only 4 months away. In 4 short months he would be married to the woman of his dreams. They were already in the process of picking out a new apartment and furniture. TK smiled at the thought.

"I don't care what I'm wearing, as long as Kari's next to me." TK stated. "These are perfect."

The jungle was peaceful and quiet. Too quiet. There was no sound anywhere, not even bird digimon talking to each other. Kari looked around, finding no sign of life. 'How did I get here, in the digital world?' she asked herself. Suddenly, a voice broke into her thoughts.

"Kari! Kari, where are you?"

"Gatomon!? Gatomon, I'm here!" Kari looked around, but couldn't see Gatomon anywhere.

"Help Kari! I need your help! We're being attacked! Help me!"

"Gatomon! Where are you?" Kari was frantic now. Her digimon partner needed her help, but they couldn't find each other.

"Hello, child of light." A new voice broke into the scene. Kari could tell immediately that it was a voice of evil. "It's so nice to see you again."

"Who…who are you?" Kari asked, afraid to find out the answer.

"You mean, who are we? Because you see, child of light, I am not the only one who wants revenge on you and the child of hope. The two of us both want to see you destroyed."

"There's…two of you?" Kari asked. She got no response. "Where is Gatomon?"

"Oh, you mean your little kitty friend? She's fine, for the moment. But let's stay on track. I see that you and the child of hope are going to unite, correct? They call it marriage. I am here to tell you that that will never happen. Myself and my friend here will never let that happen. We will destroy you first. We will take our revenge on you."

"You can't stop us from getting married!" Kari yelled. She was terrified now. Someone was trying to break her and TK apart, and she wasn't going to let that happen.

"Yes, we can…but I grow tired of this. It's time for us to leave you. But don't worry, we will meet again. And next time, we may have to kill you."

"Wait! Don't…"

Kari awoke with a start. She shot up into a sitting position. She didn't realize that she was crying until she tasted the salty tears on her lips. She curled herself into a ball and kept crying. She continued crying until someone put their arms around her. She buried herself into his chest, leaning on him for support.

"Kari, what is it? A bad dream?"

"No TK, more like a bad vision." Kari answered. She was glad that she had decided to spend the night at TK's house. She was just too tired to go home, and TK had offered her his spare bedroom.

"Bad vision? About what?" TK asked, concern in his voice. He knew about some of Kari's bad dreams. The Dark Ocean had proven to him that Kari's dreams were something to be reckoned with.

"Oh TK…it was horrible!" Kari started, pulling away from him so that she could look at his face. "I was in the digital world, and Gatomon was calling for me. She was in trouble. I couldn't find her, but kept calling for her. Then this voice came out of nowhere. The voice that that he was an old enemy, and that he hand an ally that was also an old enemy. They wanted revenge against the two of us. He said that…" here she paused, and shuttered. TK pulled her into an embrace.

"It's OK, Kari. It's OK. Can you continue?"

"Yes. He…this voice…said that they weren't going to let us marry. They weren't going to let us be happy, because they were going to kill us, take revenge on us." She stopped, and started to cry again. TK tried to soothe her, but was shaken himself. They were finally going on with their lives. They were happy. They were going to be married for heaven's sake! Why couldn't the Digital World leave them alone? And why did they always go after the two of them? Would they ever lead normal lives?

"Kari, believe me, no one, not even a Digimon, will ever stop us from getting married. We were meant to be, and we will be together. I will always protect you, no matter what." TK said, tightening his grip on her. He spoke with complete honestly. He would never let anything happen to the woman that he loved.

"I know TK."

"You know what we have to do now, don't you?" he asked her. He looked down at her as he said this.

"Yes. You know, Tai's not going to like this when we tell him. We better start calling." Kari said, getting up. TK followed her out the door. They were in for a long day.
